New Feature: ePHOTOzine search!

It's been a long time coming, but it's better than ever before!
At the top left of most of the main sections of ePHOTOzine, there will be a box allowing you to search those key areas.
When you click to search you will be whisked away to our new search server, which should show you a list of relevant results for your query.
[b]A few notes:[/b]
- Results are ordered by relevance, so if the search system detects a high occurrence of your keyword it will rank that result higher.
- Because it's on a seperate server, it should be fast and if lots of people are searching, the main site won't be affected.
- It's not possible to do phrase matching yet, e.g. you can search for the two individual words [b]canon 20d[/b] but not the specific phrase [b]"canon 20d"[/b], though this isn't a big problem as usually results returned should be relevant.
- The search data will be updated hourly, so a new thread like this one, won't appear till an hour later.
- Because it's been written in-house, we'll be able to and are planning to, make improvements to it in the future. Our last search was a third-party script and wasn't fun to maintain.
- Planned improvements are: Ordering searches by date, boolean mode and phrase matching.

Whoopee I'm excited... it takes me forever to find old links when I want to help people find archived stuff. I just tried one that I can never find...displacement - in the techniques and it came up instantly.
Have a play around - search for things you want to know...you'll then start to see what really is behind the front end and why it has taken us five years to fill!!!
